The Samsung Galaxy S5 is built with one of the best and fastest cameras. Nevertheless, it can happen to you that it takes a long time from pressing the shutter-release until taking the photo.

However, the delay of the camera after triggering has no cause in the hardware, but much more on the software and the correct settings.

The reason for the delayed release of pictures with the camera of the Samsung Galaxy S5 is due to the "Image Stabilizer". The stabilizer waits so long to capture the image until the hand and the object to be photographed is fairly quiet and calm.

This "Image Stabilizer" option must be disabled so pictures with the camera of the Samsung Galaxy S5 can be triggered faster, " . This works as follows:

Open from the home screen the camera app on your Samsung Galaxy S5. Tap now on the gear icon at the top of the screen. The settings of the will camera open. You now see several tiles, one of which is called "Image Stabilization".

This must now be disabled by tapping.

1. Voice guidance is activated?

Have you started on your Samsung Galaxy S5 the Google Maps navigation, please check whether the voice guidance is active. For this purpose, after starting the navigation in Google Maps tap at the bottom right on the vertical three-point symbol. There are now opening up four tiles. One of them must be set at "Mute voice guidance". If this is not the case and you can see there "Unmute voice guidance", please tap on that tile.

2. Is the voice guidance transmitted on the radio of the car?

It may be that the voice announcement from Google Maps is streamed from your Samsung Galaxy S5 directly on the car radio. Usually the radio is off so of course no sound is heard then. So please check your vehicle radio, whether "Bluetooth" is selected as a media. Only in this way the voice guidance of Google Maps can be heard over the vehicle's speakers.These are usually the most common reasons why you do not hear any sound when navigating with Google Maps, the Samsung Galaxy S5 and a Bluetooth hands-free kit.
